Blaine the Choice of New York.
New YORK, May 2d.-Ex-Senator Platt,
speaking to a World reporter yesterday,
said: Senator Sherman's nomination
would cause the New York party workers
to lay down their hand at once. could
not raise hand for him myself with any
grace. Sherman cannot have any hope of
the nomination without the solid Ohio del
egation. He has not got Ohio yet. 1t is
| pretty certain no man will be nominated
who is unsatisfactory to New York. That
| would be blunder which the Convention
will not commit. The delegation will be a
unit, practically, for Blaine. The labor ell
ement in politics alone will be sufficient to
| accomplish his election. There will be a
labor ticket in the field in New York this
| fall, and the State election will practically
| determine the Presidential election"

good race yet, and the distance Just suits
the two named.

Der the way Pontiac captured the Suburban
think his half-brother may repeat the per-
formance this year.
